Abstract:
The Western Atlantic Ocean Experiment (WATOX) was a series of experiments conducted off of the east coast of the United States and in Bermuda from February 1985 to July 1988 to study the transport of pollutants over the Western Atlantic. Concentrations of the following atmospheric trace gases were measured from a NOAA King Air aircraft: total sulfur, sulfur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and NO-NOx. Only the 1988 experiment included NOy and hydrogen peroxide in addition to the above gases.
